Gray sky lingers
Well into day
Before sun’s
fingers
Dispatch the haze
Offshore it drifts
dissipates
and
fades away
Basking now in
blossoming rays
Even flow the ripples
Shimmer in the bay
All Small specks
A long horizon away
When…
Trailing south
on a shoreline breeze
O’er the slap of lapping waves
A precise platoon of pelican
So perfect the Parade
Skim the water
And save the day
